Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement.  Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    My son was born this day at 5:16 pm in the same hospital and on the same floor I was, 20.5 years before. Sunset out the window of my room was gorgeous even through the pain. My ex husband, our son and I were three that day.

    This was my 4th birthday. My mother has photos of me tearing around on my red tricycle, while wearing a pink dress, saddle oxfords, bad bangs and an obnoxiously large smile. The red trike was my big girl gift ❤❤

    My name is Onrad. This is the day I was born. I came across this pic through Facebook. I appreciate Jamie’s work. I think it shows consistency. It shows a certain level of determination and drive that I strive to attain. Above all, I think he loved what he did. Im inspired to follow my dreams to the highest degree till death 😊

    That day in Colombia a really weird guy was being born. It’s amazing to see this and think that perhaps when Jamie was taking this photo, I just had a couple hours of life.

    This day I turn 1. I am 39 years old now. I love this photo! It shows raw emotion of a happy and good looking guy. I just wonder who this man is… and wonder how good the food at Mark Dine.

    I was born at 00h07 of this day, in a country an ocean across from New York. It’s weird to see how much and yet so little as changed in the world.

    I was on my way to the outside world at this stage… And now, I feel I am still on my way… Discovering these photographs has become part of my journey… and I am so grateful for Jamie’s commitment to the practice of chronicling existence. Wonderful.

    This is the day of my earliest memory. It was my third birthday and I remember having a birthday party and being so excited that Jon Unander (R.I.P.) was there–because he was FOUR and I thought that was so cool.

    I wasn’t born on that day via C section in Zimbabwe, Africa. I live in England now and saw a video about this on Mental Floss’ FB page. I feel so connected to Jamie after hearing his story. The fact that my birthday is a pic of a stomach is all the more serendipitous and freaky! Thanks for keeping him alive Hugh xxx
